Cops on he right looks very anxious to get their hands on the opened package.

"Tip off" or could it be all made up to appease the public that the boys are doing their job, only to release the stuff to the market shortly thereafter, noting I didn't see a picture of the van driver, did you ?

 

If this is a real story, then good work, but how would I know, no photo or finger pointing makes me wonder, as it's outside the norm.

It's marijuana. Hardly, up there with yaba etc.

[AhFarangJa]

A caption competition would yield hilarious results looking at the expressions on those officers' faces.

Oh dear....

Perhaps you can explain to us how it could possibly save lives?

I'm sure many, even on this forum alone, could recount how it is improving their lives. 

I read here about people who use it to relieve symptoms of serious illness.

So explain your reasoning about the seizure no doubt saving lives. You must have some first hand knowledge to make such a statement.

 

Oh...it seems that you were just being sarcastic.

I think that he is referring to the valuing of 44,000 grams of 'weed' at 400,000 baht.

Indicating a price of 9.091 baht per gram.

I don't know the price of 'weed' but 9.091 baht per gram seems cheap.

Personally I hope not. If the Thais cannot handle alcohol and driving, then legalising it makes little sense. They need less things to get stoned on - not more.

I can't speak to how it is today but back in the early 1970's up in the Issan area, there were Thai's that smoked and handled it better than when drunk.

44kg? The guy must be a frequent smoker.

Lemme see, packet of 20 cigarettes contains 12.5gm of tobacco, or 2x $10 bags of weed.

9 bht/gm x 6 = 54bht ($2).

 

So a 5x markup to the end used seems about right to my thinking.

Depends if the police are valuing the product at retail or wholesale price.

This man is the leading contender for this years Darwin award and I'm sure he will meet new and interesting friends where he's headed.

Meanwhile police officials have determined that the confiscated Marijuana should be destroyed by fire. A group of officers who were tasked with the difficult operation stated that they would need department funding to purchase additional snack foods. Authorities responded by staging a media event but it was unclear if the extra munchies had been approved.
